Accuser: Sandusky threatened me after assault

Jerry Sandusky pinned down a foster child and performed oral sex on him, threatened to keep him from seeing his family if he reported what happened and then later told him he loved him, the accuser testified Wednesday.

The man, now 25 and called Victim 10 by prosecutors, told jurors Sandusky assaulted him in the basement of the former Penn State assistant football coach's State College home in the late 1990s, then threatened to keep him away from his biological family.

''He told me that if I ever told anyone that I'd never see my family again,'' the accuser testified, adding that he believed Sandusky's wife, Dottie, was home at the time.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Alleged Victim 5 says Sandusky tried to touch him in shower

Prosecutors in the Jerry Sandusky case presented the fifth accuser today, a 23-year-old who testified tearfully that Sandusky molested him in a Penn State locker room shower one time in 2001.
Victim 5 said he was terrified and was able to squirm around a corner and out of the shower after Sandusky grabbed him from behind and forced the boy to touch him.

Sandusky, who said nothing afterward, drove him home and never called again, Victim 5 testified.The boy had been referred to The Second Mile because a school counselor thought he needed more interaction with English-speakers. At home, his parents spoke another language, he testified.
Victim 5 met Sandusky during a Second Mile camp when he was in the fifth grade.
As many accusers before him testified, he said Sandusky called his home a few days later and asked if the boy wanted to go with him to Penn State football games.
He did. And he enjoyed them.
On the stand, he said he remembers that during car trips Sandusky would touch his thigh.
One day Sandusky called and asked him if he wanted to "work out." The youngster wasn't really sure what that meant, Victim 5 testified.
But he went, and they worked out for what he remembers being a short amount of time before Sandusky suggested they use the sauna, he said.
He didn't know exactly what that was, but again, he went, he said.
Inside, Sandusky took of his towel and exposed himself, Victim 5 said.
"It felt like forever, it was really hot," he said.
They left and went to the locker room showers.
Being naked in a shower with a man was so uncomfortable, that Victim 5 testified he picked a spigot at the far end and tried to face the wall.

"I kept looking over my shoulder and saw that he was standing a few feet away," he said. "It was just uncomfortable. I felt like he was looking at me."Victim 5 looked away from Sandusky as he explained what happened. He said he was too young to understand an erection, but noticed something was strange.
He and his mother, who was in the gallery, both began to cry.
"I noticed he started coming in my direction," he testified. "He threw some soap at me and started lathering my shoulders. I crept forward a little bit more, as did he, and I felt his body on my back. I kept lurching forward but I didn't have anywhere to go."
He said Sandusky grabbed the boy, took his hand and forced him to touch back.
"I was able to round the corner and get away," he said. "I remember just drying off, that's pretty much it."
The only cross-examination from Amendola was about the year in which this happened. Victim 5 said was 2001, but at the grand jury he estimated it was 1998.
Victim 5 testified that it changed after he sat down and considered what what grade in school corresponded with what year.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Judge allows hearsay evidence from janitor who heard Sandusky was 'licking' a young boy

A Penn State University janitor took the stand Wednesday afternoon and said he saw Jerry Sandusky and a boy exit a staff locker room in the Lasch football building on campus in 2000 right before another janitor told him he watched Sandusky "licking" the boy.


Ronald Petrosky took the stand after about 15 minutes of argument between attorneys over whether the jury should be allowed to hear what he was going to say.

The judge ruled they would. But it's been a topic of debate because the janitor who actually witnessed the event has dementia and can't take the stand himself.

Petrosky told jurors he called police and reported the incident after reading about similar allegations in the Centre Daily Times.

Here's what he said happened that night in the fall of 2000:

Petrosky said he entered the staff shower to clean it around 8:30 or 9 p.m. that night, and knew that janitor Jim Calhoun was already inside cleaning the toilets. But when he saw two sets of legs, he dropped his hose and left.

He waited outside the door, and saw Sandusky and a young boy -- both with wet hair -- leave through the only doors to the locker room, he said in court.

"I said 'Good evening, coach,'" he said, later saying that he had seen Sandusky in the area with kids before.

As they walked away, Sandusky grabbed the boy's hand, he said.

"I met Jim in between the two doors and I could see that he was upset," Petrosky said. "His face was white and his hands was trembling. I thought he had a medical condition. He said 'Buck' -- that's my nickname-- 'I just witnessed something in there I'll never forget the rest of my life. The man who just left, he had the boy up against the shower wall licking on his privates.'"

Petrosky said he asked Calhoun if he was sure, and he answered that he was.

"I said, 'You know who that is? That's Jerry Sandusky,' " he testified. "I asked Jim if he wanted to call somebody. He didn't. He was afraid, I guess."

Petrosky said Calhoun was so upset -- crying and shaking -- he called for help from other janitors cleaning different parts of the building.

He told the other men the same story, using more graphic language, Petrosky said.

"We thought he was going to have a heart attack and we kept people with him all night to make sure he was all right," Petrosky said. "We had to finish our job, of course, but it was hard to concentrate after that."

Twice that night -- first between 10 and 11 p.m. and later between 2 and 2:30 a.m. -- Petrosky said he saw Sandusky slowly driving through the building parking lot.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Prosecutors play edited version of Bob Costas interview for jurors

Prosecutors played Jerry Sandusky's highly criticized television interview with NBC's Bob Costas for jurors during the trial today, but they edited it midway through so that one of the controversial segments was played twice.


About seven minutes into the almost 9-minute interview, Bob Costas asked Sandusky:

"Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage boys?"

"Am I sexually attracted to underage boys?" Sandusky asked Costas.

"Yes," Bob Costas interrupts.

"Sexually attracted? No, I enjoy young people. I love to be around them. I, I, but no. I am not sexually attracted to young boys," Sandusky responded.

But in court, where prosecutors played only audio clips and not the video in its entirety, part of that segment was cut and repeated.

It sounded like this:

"Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage boys?"

"Am I sexually attracted to underage boys?" Sandusky asked Costas.

"Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage boys?"

"Am I sexually attracted to underage boys?"

"Yes," Bob Costas interrupts.

"Sexually attracted? No, I enjoy young people. I love to be around them. I, I, but no. I am not sexually attracted to young boys," Sandusky responded.

Sandusky was highly criticized for that answer when he gave the interview in November. It was replayed over and over on national television, and made fun of on late-night television. It was part of the reason the story kept the attention of the nation for so long.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Prosecutors will wrap up by Friday, judge says

Court in the Jerry Sandusky case wrapped up early today, around 4 p.m., because the judge said prosecutors are getting through their case faster than expected.

The prosecution is expected to have presented their entire case -- 10 cases -- by Friday, Judge John Cleland told jurors.


So far, prosecutors have presented testimony or evidence in six of the 10 cases.

Today, jurors heard from three accusers, and a Penn State janitor who says he witnessed Sandusky leave the staff shower late one night in 2000 with a young boy, and seconds later a fellow janitor told him he had witnessed Sandusky "licking" the boy.

Court resumes Thursday at 9 a.m. in Centre County.

The jury appreciates a trial that doesn't drag on. We can read the testimony but we are missing the body language which is as important as the spoken words. The prosecutor has certainly put together a good case so far. The defense has established quite a few points directed to closing arguments and appeals in case of a guilty verdict. Still a long way to go in this case.

I sincerely believe he will be found guilty. And I also believe he will be sentenced to life in a minimum security country club prison. This man deserves a sentence in a maximum security, "pound me in the ass" facility. Absolutely disgusting creature.
